Thoughts? My main thought is thank god Nembhard is ours.

Never take Nembhard out.
The fact that Q is in our 3rd most played lineup this season really emphasizes the injury struggle we had earlier this year. No shade to Q, it’s just that he’s our 3rd or even 4th string 2 guard.
If we can stay healthy, these playoffs could look really good for us.
The first lineup being a +13, then the fourth one being a -5.8 by just taking out Nembhard for Sheppard is wild lol
Q and Shep shouldn’t get playoff minutes. At least initially
I’m surprised they didn’t try Benn and Nesmith at 2 and 3 when Nembhard isn’t available
Andrew Nembhard is a lot more important than some people think, and he is one of the most untradeable Pacers (unless it’s for a major upgrade).
Jarace can’t be that much worse than Ben Shep aka Chris Duarte 2.0
So our best 7 players are who we thought they were.
Last years playoff lineup will be this years playoff lineup
Both versions of the starting 5 have been excellent this year. Among the top-20 five man lineups in mins played they rank 4th and 5th in net rating behind the starting fives for BOS, OKC, and CLE.
scoring is mandatory
We’re winning it all
The non-Nembhard minutes look awful but I’m curious what a Hali/Math/Nesmith/Pascal/Turner lineup looks like here
There is not way Q is in a roster combo more than TJ
